NLCS GAME 5 IS SECOND MOST-WATCHED TELECAST IN FS1 HISTORY

NLCS Game 5 Is Most-Viewed Event on FOX Sports GO With 316,000 Unique Streams

New York - Thursday night's National League Championship Series Game 5, in which the Chicago Cubs took a 3-2 series lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers, delivered an average audience of 7,180,000 viewers on FS1, making it the second most-watched telecast in FS1 history, according to fast national figures released by Nielsen Media Research.

Thursday night's 7,180,000 average audience is up +179% (vs. 2,577,000 viewers) over Game 5 of last year's American League Championship Series featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals, and up +47% (vs. 4,891,000 viewers) over the 2014 NLCS series-clinching Game 5 between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals on FS1. Thursday night's game peaked at 8,802,000 viewers between 11:30 - 11:45 PM ET.

In Chicago, NLCS Game 5 delivered a 24.1/38 metered market rating/share and nearly doubled the performance of Thursday night's NFL contest between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers (vs. 12.5/19), which aired head-to-head.

On the digital side, last night's NLCS Game 5 was the most-watched event in FOX Sports GO history with 316,000 unique streams and an average minute audience of over 135,000.

FOX Deportes continued its surge this MLB Postseason with NLCS Game 5 becoming the most-watched LCS game in Spanish-language television history, with 312,000 viewers, and the most-watched MLB postseason game on Spanish-language television since Game 7 of the 2014 World Series (Giants-Royals).

NLCS Game 5 joins FS1's top 10 list of most-watched events in network history (chart below). All ten of FS1's most-watched events are MLB Postseason games, including seven from the 2016 postseason.
